🚨🗣️New: Thierry Henry reacts to the Brazil, Morocco, and Netherlands press conferences, where questions in Spanish were reportedly not permitted for Hakimi, Vinícius Jr., and Frenkie de Jong:
“I have covered World Cups for years, and this situation makes absolutely no sense to me. You’re telling me a World Cup co-hosted by Mexico can stop journalists from asking questions in Spanish? That’s like hosting a Formula 1 race and banning cars from using their engines.
We saw it with Hakimi. We saw it with Vinícius. Now we’re hearing similar stories involving Frenkie de Jong. The players understood the questions. The journalists spoke one of the most widely spoken languages on the planet. Yet somehow the language became the problem.
Gianni Infantino talks about inclusion, diversity, and bringing football to everyone. Fine. Then explain this contradiction. How can FIFA celebrate diversity in every promotional video and then create headlines because Spanish journalists are being told to switch languages at a tournament hosted by Mexico?
Spanish isn’t some obscure dialect spoken by a handful of people. It’s the language of hundreds of millions across the Americas and beyond. If a journalist from Mexico, Spain, Argentina, Colombia, or anywhere else asks a question in Spanish and the player understands it, why is football creating barriers where none existed?
The irony is unbelievable. FIFA keeps telling us football belongs to everyone, but this controversy has many fans asking whether some voices are more welcome than others.
Maybe there’s a logistical explanation. Maybe it’s a translation issue. But perception matters. And right now the perception is terrible.
Because what fans are seeing is simple: a World Cup hosted partly by a Spanish-speaking nation, players who understand Spanish, journalists who speak Spanish, and officials telling them not to use Spanish.
If that’s progress, somebody needs to explain it better. Because from the outside, it looks like football’s governing body is tripping over its own message.”
“FIFA wanted a celebration of diversity. Instead, they’ve handed the internet a controversy that won’t stop being discussed.”
@imPascalNajadi If you can suddenly find Billions out of a national budget. It means you can LOSE much more and nobody is scrutinizing anything. You should be worried and not pleased 🤔
@benwehrman There is one nation where they have never been thrown out or deported, the USA. Why is Israel not set up there? I am sure Americans will welcome them with open arms 😒
🚨 BOMBSHELL! Patriot Rep. Thomas Massie openly defies the establishment to expose the USS Liberty coverup.
He confirms he will present the suppressed narratives on the House floor: that Israel attacked the ship as a false flag to drag the US into war or to blind US intelligence
@HananyaNaftali Even if they did, doesn't mean that Israel can do it, too. What is wrong is wrong. Your genocide and apartheid have gone beyond the Nazis.
One of the most brutal scenes in human history has been leaked.
The moment the tents of displaced people were bombed in the southern Gaza Strip, in the Mawasi area of Khan Yunis, killing more than 500 civilians.
A video that the world must never forget.
🇵🇸 BBC confirma lo que muchos ya sabíamos.
La investigación del BBC revela que más de 160 niños palestinos en Gaza fueron disparados deliberadamente en la cabeza por francotiradores israelíes.
Los reportes son claros:
“Los israelíes están cazando niños por entretenimiento.”
Niños ejecutados de un tiro en la cabeza mientras jugaban, caminaban o simplemente estaban en sus casas.
Fue una política sistemática de cazar y matar menores.Esto ya no es solo un genocidio…
Es sadismo puro contra los más inocentes.Que el mundo deje de fingir que no lo sabe.
Posso farvi una richiesta? Per favore, non smettete di parlare della Palestina. Lasciate un punto per influenzare l'algoritmo. 💔🇵🇸 Mi seguireste per sostenere?
British woman on BBC:
"The oppression didn't start on October 7."
"You say 'Israel has the right to defend itself' — but what about Palestine, whose land was taken? Didn't it have the right to defend itself?"
"You speak of hostages. What about the Palestinian children under rubble — or in prisons? They are hostages too." 🇬🇧🎙️🔥🇮🇱🇵🇸💔
One of the most brutal scenes in human history has been leaked.
Footage from an Israeli aircraft shows thousands of starving Palestinians running towards an aid truck, before it bombs and kills them all.
A video that the world must never forget.
But liberation movements like Hizbollah emerged because of the Jewish Israeli Zionist brutality and ethnic, cleansing and death and destruction inflicted on the oppressed people!
Because our South African history teaches us that the liberation movements were a response, result and consequence of the oppression of the colonial and apartheid regimes brutalising the natives whether in South Africa, Palestine, Beirut and elsewhere in the world!
But this is what our Nelson Mandela teaches us:
“As long as poverty, injustice, and gross inequality persist in our world, none of us can truly rest.”
